RIC F. offers Trombone Lessons and Trumpet Lessons

Irene A. from Palo Alto, CA My daughter has been taking lessons with Ric for a couple of months now. While my daughter learned how to play saxophone while in elementary school, she found the music program at her middle school weak, and wanted private lessons so she could continue practicing and growing her skills. Ric has ignited her passion for playing saxophone; often after her lessons with him she tells me how much she enjoys playing. Ric has coached her on technique, has taught her songs to play, and occasionally accompanies her on piano. Everyone in the house loves hearing her play during her lesson and I've even seen neighbors stand outside our house to appreciate the music. Moreover, Ric is very patient and knows when to push her vs. when to encourage her to relax. I appreciate how easeful he is with her and how he talks to her. They have great rapport, which makes her even more open to learning from him. I'm grateful for the music Ric has brought into our lives and how much he has inspired my daughter.

Linda S. from San Mateo, CA Ric really brings out the best in my 14 year old trombone student. He gets him to focus on improved sound, timing, and places where bits of personalized flair can be brought in. My son improves noticeably each lesson. Thanks, Ric.
